This is a hexbear thread about food, as such I shall not be reading it. A curse upon all your houses.

Has that thing even been cooked?

From the looks of it, I'm thinking it might have been boiled

These people complain about inflation when the real problem is low/stagnant real wages.

I think people in the US have been conditioned to expect low inflation forever, because inflation was concentrated on assets and large expenditures like Health, Education, Housing and so on. It's cultural inertia, really. Down here we are 30 years removed from a hyperinflation crisis, so even media discourse considers wether or not the minimal wage rises above or according to inflation. We also have all the problems you have, like shrinkflation and lowering quality of foodstuffs. And arguably ours are worse. But the discourse of 'what happened, I used to be able to buy a penny' is never done with the implication that inflation itself is simply wrong for existing.

Wage growth is totally dogshit but that's been true for 30 years. This inflation stuff really is fucking crazy. You can barely walk out of a grocery store for less than $60. Everything has gone up damn near 50% in the last two years between prices going up and pirti9ns of literally everything going down.

Enshitificiation really is in full swing.

Could this be the thing that gets Americans to make their own food instead of eating out constantly?
